Ḥā Mīm.
وَٱلْكِتَـٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
﴿٣﴾
By the clear Book,
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَـٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍۢ مُّبَـٰرَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ
﴿٤﴾
Indeed, We sent it down during a blessed night. Indeed, We were to warn [mankind].
فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ
﴿٥﴾
Therein is made distinct every precise matter –
أَمْرًۭا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ
﴿٦﴾
A command from Us. Indeed, We were to send [a messenger].
رَحْمَةًۭ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
﴿٧﴾
[As] mercy from your Lord. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ ۖ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
﴿٨﴾
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, if you should be certain.
لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۖ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
﴿٩﴾
There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers.
بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّۢ يَلْعَبُونَ
﴿١٠﴾
But they are in doubt, playing around.
فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
﴿١١﴾
So watch for the Day when the sky will bring a clear smoke.
يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ ۖ هَـٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ
﴿١٢﴾
Enveloping the people; this will be a painful punishment.
رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ
﴿١٣﴾
They will say: 'Our Lord, remove the punishment from us; indeed, we are believers.'
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ مُّبِينٌۭ
﴿١٤﴾
How can they be reminded, when a clear Messenger had already come to them?
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌۭ مَّجْنُونٌ
﴿١٥﴾
Then they turned away from him and said, 'He is taught, a madman.'
إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ
﴿١٦﴾
Indeed, We will remove the punishment a little; indeed, you will return (to disbelief).
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ
﴿١٧﴾
On the Day We will strike with the greatest assault—indeed, We will take retribution.
۞ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌۭ كَرِيمٌ
﴿١٨﴾
And We had already tested before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble Messenger.
أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌۭ
﴿١٩﴾
Saying: 'Hand over to me the servants of Allah. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy Messenger.'
وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَـٰنٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ
﴿٢٠﴾
And [saying], 'Do not exalt yourselves against Allah. Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority.'
وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ
﴿٢١﴾
And indeed, I have sought refuge with my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.
وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ
﴿٢٢﴾
But if you do not believe me, then keep away from me.
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌۭ مُّجْرِمُونَ
﴿٢٣﴾
So he called upon his Lord, 'Indeed, these are a criminal people.'
فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
﴿٢٤﴾
So set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you will be pursued.
وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا ۖ إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌۭ مُّغْرَقُونَ
﴿٢٥﴾
And leave the sea in stillness; indeed, they are an army to be drowned.
كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّـٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ
﴿٢٦﴾
How many gardens and springs did they leave behind,
وَزُرُوعٍۢ وَمَقَامٍۢ كَرِيمٍۢ
﴿٢٧﴾
And crops and noble dwellings,
وَنَعْمَةٍۢ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَـٰكِهِينَ
﴿٢٨﴾
And comfort wherein they were rejoicing.
كَذَٰلِكَ ۖ وَأَوْرَثْنَـٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ
﴿٢٩﴾
Thus. And We caused another people to inherit them.
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ
﴿٣٠﴾
And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ
﴿٣١﴾
And We certainly delivered the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment,
مِن فِرْعَوْنَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ
﴿٣٢﴾
From Pharaoh. Indeed, he was haughty and among the transgressors.
وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَـٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ
﴿٣٣﴾
And We certainly chose them knowingly over all peoples.
وَءَاتَيْنَـٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْـَٔايَـٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَـٰٓؤٌۭا۟ مُّبِينٌ
﴿٣٤﴾
And We gave them of signs that in which there was a clear trial.
إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ
﴿٣٥﴾
Indeed, these [disbelievers] are saying,
إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ
﴿٣٦﴾
There is not but our first death, and we will not be resurrected.
فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
﴿٣٧﴾
Then bring back our forefathers, if you should be truthful.
أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍۢ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ أَهْلَكْنَـٰهُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ
﴿٣٨﴾
Are they better or the people of Tubbaʿ and those before them? We destroyed them, indeed, they were criminals.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَـٰعِبِينَ
﴿٣٩﴾
And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in play.
مَا خَلَقْنَـٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
﴿٤٠﴾
We did not create them except in truth, but most of them do not know.
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَـٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
﴿٤١﴾
Indeed, the Day of Judgement is their appointed time, all together.
يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًۭى شَيْـًۭٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ
﴿٤٢﴾
The day when no intercessor will avail anyone, nor will they be helped.
إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
﴿٤٣﴾
Except for whom Allah has mercy. Indeed, He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
إِنَّ شَجَرَتَ ٱلزَّقُّومِ
﴿٤٤﴾
Indeed, the tree of Zaqqum
طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ
﴿٤٥﴾
is the food of the sinful.
كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ
﴿٤٦﴾
Like molten brass, boiling in the bellies.
كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ
﴿٤٧﴾
Like the boiling of scalding water.
خُذُوهُ فَٱعْتِلُوهُ إِلَىٰ سَوَآءِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
﴿٤٨﴾
Take him and drag him into the midst of Hell.
ثُمَّ صُبُّوا۟ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِۦ مِنْ عَذَابِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ
﴿٤٩﴾
Then pour over his head the torment of boiling water.
ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ
﴿٥٠﴾
Taste [it], indeed you are the Mighty, the Noble?
إِنَّ هَـٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ
﴿٥١﴾
Indeed, this is what you used to doubt.
إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍۢ
﴿٥٢﴾
Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place
فِى جَنَّـٰتٍۢ وَعُيُونٍۢ
﴿٥٣﴾
In gardens and springs
يَلْبَسُونَ مِن سُندُسٍۢ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍۢ مُّتَقَـٰبِلِينَ
﴿٥٤﴾
They will wear garments of fine silk and brocade, facing one another.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجْنَـٰهُم بِحُورٍ عِينٍۢ
﴿٥٥﴾
Thus, We will marry them to fair maidens with large, lustrous eyes.
يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِكُلِّ فَـٰكِهَةٍ ءَامِنِينَ
﴿٥٦﴾
They will call therein for every fruit in peace and security.
لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ ۖ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
﴿٥٧﴾
They will not taste death therein except the first death, and He will protect them from the torment of Hell.
فَضْلًۭا مِّن رَّبِّكَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
﴿٥٨﴾
A bounty from your Lord. That is the great attainment.
فَإِنَّمَا يَسَّرْنَـٰهُ بِلِسَانِكَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ
﴿٥٩﴾
We have only made it easy in your language so that they may take heed.
فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ
﴿٦٠﴾
So be patient. Indeed, they are awaiting.
